Day 43

[juney-blues]

tumblr is cask of amontillado-ing me with every reblog.

[lincolnlogger]

my absolute favorite part of "the cask of amontillado" is this section, wherein fortunato clowns on luchesi for not being able to "tell amontillado from sherry" when amontillado is, in fact, a type of dry sherry. this misplaced hubris ultimately results in fortunato demanding that montresor lead him down into the vaults where he will (spoiler!) meet his demise, without a further word in persuasion from montresor's lips.

I'm lucky to be experiencing prose of Edgar Allan Poe for the first time those days and it strikes me how precise his macabre tales are. How much they are like an essence of a novel, crystalised form of prose just like haiku is of poetry. A complete story, each with it's own characteristic mood, atmosphere, feel, all within more or less ten pages. I know immediately that I will be returning to individual short stories when under influence of a certain caprice, something that is much harder to achieve when looking for a specific paragraph of a novel.

i’d be at the club saying shit like “I have received a pipe of Amontillado” and “come, my wine cellar is just through these catacombs”

Day 15: wine

He has a cask of very fine vintage wine deep in his cellar, just keep looking. :)

columbo: ...tell ya, sure hate to get actually trapped in here.... reminds me of that edgar allan poe short story...... the cast of uh um...... know what it is ,, begins with an a .... I just can't pronounce it

murderer: (longsuffering, uses heavy L sound) AMONTIL - LADO

columbo: ....course if someone did get trapped in here, they'd sure have plenty to drink... (small, pleased smile)

murderer, who locked someone into the vault: NO ONE COULD GET TRAPPED IN HERE, THE DOOR LOCKS FROM THE OUTSIDE ONLY!!

(Columbo, season 3, episode 2, Any Old Port in a Storm)

It suddenly got way easier to lure me into a dark isolated woodland and kill me.

We make fun of Fortunato in Cask of Amontillado for allowing himself to be led into an isolated abandoned cellar and chained to a wall for an opportunity to see a wine cask that there's no logical way Montresor could have obtained,

But I would do that for this flower.
